Re: Bog/rough running at 70mph

The Small block Chevy engine that built America using 50+ year old technology in stock form is one of the most basic engines to survive 50+ years and still be a favorite engine in many muscle cars and trucks , They will run with gas that smells like turpentine , 5lbs of oil pressure , No air filter , Vacuum leaks , points ignition , and keep going ! Add an HEI and good maintenance and you've got a runner , Always start with the basics fuel/ compression and spark .

No computers needed !
